Personal Review of RAYSE4W3C Rayovac High Intensity Flashlight

Received my flashlight. Appears to be of high quality. Has a good rubber grip and nice looks (though I don't care about the looks). I purchased the flashlight in part to upgrade the quality of my regular flashlights and in part as for home defense (to shine in a persons eyes at night to temporarily blind them).

I tested the flashlight during the day.
See above photographs.

I tested the flashlight at night.
It appears to be 15 - 20 times brighter than a normal flashlight. Has nice white light as compared to the normal yellowish light.
After dark I went outside and directed the beam to the end of the my yard (about 150 feet) and it illuminated the far corner very well in a directed beam.
Inside the house when pointing a normal flashlight into a room it illuminated the room. With the new high intensity flashligh, it illuminated the room brightly and most of the adjacent rooms too (like turning on a light).

I instantly became spoiled. The high intensity LED is the way to go for the future. I am going to buy two more and store my old ones. I will keep one in the car, one in kitchen and one in bedroom.
